Setting up Workviews and Presentation views

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on organising our firm's revit template and i'm trying to set up workviews and presentation views so everyone can setup their working views as they like but get the same output (prints) for every project.

I've made a project parameter called 'viewtype' were i can select 'workview' or 'presentationview'.

I've made a few levels with corresponding floorplans and duplicated the floorplans as dependend thinking i could then put the dependend views under 'plotviews' but it doesn't seem to work like that. The dependend views show up in the 'workview' folder. (I assume because the master view of which they are dependend is under that folder).

Can anyone give a brief overview of how to set up workviews and plotviews? That would be much appreciated.

Work and plot views are just normal duplicates. Not dependent.

In general, you model on the work views and annotate the plot views.

Copy as dependent will not work because then it will always maintain model and annotation information from the master. Which is helpful when creating very big drawings that span over A0. Dependent will than effectively maintain all information but with different crop views.

Thanks!

Makes a lot more sense to me now. The person who told me about this didn't tell me annotations should be done in de plot view.
